It is a good practice to clean the teeth with a tooth-stick, or a tooth-brush before performing wudu. In this way you can avoid many
diseases which are caused by unclean teeth.
As mentioned in the hadith Aisha (R.A.) reported Allah's messen-
ger as saying:- ''The use of a tooth-stick is a means of purifying the
mouth and is pleasing to the Lord as well" ) (Ahmad. Oarmi, and Nisai . Prophet Muhammad (S.A.WJ also said:- "If I wouldn't have felt
that it is difficult for my people I would have ordered them to use a
tooth-stick with every prayer, that is, before doing each wuQu. So"
muslims should always try to fulfil this wish of our Prophet (S.A.W.)

Mughira bin shu'bah said, "Prophet (S.A.W.) performed ablution
and wiped over his socks and his sandals."
(Ahmad, Tirmizi, Abu Dawild, and lbn Maiah).
Each detail of ablution has been performed by Prophet Muhammad
(S.A.W.) once, twice 0r three times (except rubbing of head and
cleaning of ears, i.e. actions 6 and 7 should only bb done once).
Since all the above methods meet Prophet (S.A.W.)t approval we
can perform ablution by doing the actions once, twice 0r three times.
provided that no part has been left drY.
Amr bin Shuaib, quoting his father on the authority of his grand'
father narrated that Prophet Muhammad {S.A.W.) said, "lf anyone
performs actions of ablution more than 3 timesrhe has done wrong,
tramgresed, and done wickedly.
